About us: Being a gallery for greatest works of art, the store chain Rio is called upon to present collections from first class houses of fashion all around the world. From the first day of its existence Rio has been the official representative for world famous fashion brands. Rio Galleria, founded in April 20 2011 in Northern Avenue 8, is at present at the head of Rio stores chain.While walking about around Rio you feel like you are in a small city where each district is different from the other but at the same time all of them are connected through the unity of architectural solutions. Taking into consideration the fact that Rio Galleria includes wide variety of trends from worldwide fashion houses the customers of our shops vary from teenagers to adults and middle aged men and women. Here we present the widest collection of everyday and evening clothes. Boutiques are organized in two dimensions, the first ones presenting everyday casual outwear, the second ones classical evening clothes. Each boutique presenting one or the other trend is designed according to peculiarities of that peculiar dimension. And at the end, to summarize all the differences and common things in one, a certain Italian brand was chosen to unite them under the same roof. Before the opening Rio invited Francesco Dessi, the person who worked as a visual merchandising manager for Rinachsente stores in Milano to train sales consultants how to serve customers, how to choose appropriate clothes taking into consideration customer’s appearance. Last year he visited Rio for the second time to finish the trainings. In addition, at the beginning of each fashion season representatives of world famous fashion brands come to present the main ideas of their collection. As Narine Melkunyan the manager for Rio is saying: “It is of outmost importance for us as to make sure that after visiting our shop once the customer wishes to come back again, the atmosphere shouldn’t be constrained and formal, the customer should feel comfortable. For this reason we added bar, for the husbands to sit and have rest while their wives are making their purchases. It is worth mentioning that this is a common thing all around the world. I may say that we have succeeded in giving the best service as the number of our customers is increasing daily”. As customary in the world, collections are renewed each season, and spring-summer and autumn-winter collections appear just in time.Soon a new shop will open in Yerevan, where Rio will present new brands like Adolfo Dominguez, the other shop will be called Rio Sport, where such brands as Bikkenbergs Sport, EA7, Porsche Design Sport, Ralph Lauren, and also Armani Jeans with wider variety will be presented. Trust me, skilled consultants will meet you and become your guide in the wonderful city of fashion called Rio Galleria.

Ethical trading initiative.

At River Island we work actively with our suppliers and official agencies around the world in safeguarding and improving the rights and working conditions of workers in those factories which supply our products. All of our suppliers are contractually committed to our World Wide Ethical Policy and those that violate the policies as set out in our suppliers manual jeopardise any future relationship and entitle River Island to terminate current contracts. Our World Wide Ethical Policy will continue to form the cornerstone of the way we do business. To support this policy, our buying and technical teams regularly visit our factories throughout the year and actively engage with our manufacturing partners and other key stakeholders in identifying areas for improvement. This process is further backed by continuous and extensive third-party independent auditing by internationally recognised auditing companies. Today our products are manufactured across the globe, in countries with diverse cultures and often with established complex economies. Whilst we acknowledge that there are still issues associated with operating in developing countries, we also recognise that many ethical and trading issues cannot be solved overnight. However, we strongly believe that gradual, sustainable and significant change is an achievable goal and we believe that with a wider collaboration of efforts we can influence change greater than any individual initiatives. In June 2008 River Island became a member of the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI). Established in 1998 the ETI is an alliance of companies, trade union organisations and non-governmental organisations committed to working together to identify and promote good practice in the implementation of codes of labour practice. It is about initiating change and tackling the difficult issues involved in global manufacturing today. The ETI has more than 50 member companies and nearly 38,000 suppliers who collectively employ more than six million workers around the world. Code of Practice River Island is firmly committed to the adoption and integration of the ETI Base Code into our World Wide Ethical Policy, throughout our global supply chain and into our core business activities. We feel that by working with the ETI and its other members we will be able to draw on the wider pool of experience which exists in the collective organisation.

The ETI Base Code key principles: - Employment is freely chosen. - Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining are respected. - Working conditions are safe and hygienic. - Child labour shall not be used. - Living wages are paid. - Working hours are not excessive. - No discrimination is practised. - Regular employment is provided. - No harsh or inhumane treatment is allowed.

History Dino Bigioni began his adventure in the footwear trade by setting up a factory in the early 1960s for the manufacture of high-quality men's shoes. For the first ten years he sold his shoes on the national market only, but his participation to trade fairs in Italy and abroad soon brought him international recognition. Thanks to an increasing reputation for quality and a wise company management, Dino Bigioni made his way into the international marketplace, achieving successful results even in the most difficult situations. Today, Dino Bigioni is a brand that is equally esteemed in Russia, China, the Middle East, America, Africa and Europe. The company's two prestigious showrooms in Moscow and Chicago are an important reference for the latest trends in men's fashion. Dino Bigioni's Italian style is also on display in the flag-stores opened in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Bucharest, Warsaw, Bratislava, Prague and Johannesburg. Even though the company's capacity has notably expanded, reaching an annual output of 120,000 pairs, its founder's mission still remains: the production of “handmade'’ footwear, based on a completely in-house production cycle, the careful selection of materials and the greatest attention to detail.

History In the story of every great company there is an ideal that makes it unique. For Pal Zileri that ideal is quality: the distinguishing mark of all their actions, their competitive edge, and the basis for every investment. Dedication to this mission, together with experience, personal skills and knowledge of the market and the product are the secrets of a success that, since 1970 to date, has made Pal Zileri a world leader in the sector of menswear.

History Like many of the small companies in the San Mauro Pascoli area on Italy's Adriatic coast, Baldinini dates from 1910, a period when many itinerant businesses moved into permanent premises.In those years the Baldinini family opened its first workshop with an adjoining sales outlet.This laid the foundations for what was to become,in the space of a few decades, a flourishing small business producing fashion footwear.Over two generations, it established and consolidatedan invaluable tradition, and the rkshop, whichoriginally crafted only made-to-measure products,thrived, extending its market from the local areato encompass all of Italy.In 1970 the baton was passed to Gimmi Baldinini,who represents the family's third generation.The ambitious expansion programs implemented under his stewardship have made the Baldinini name known roughout the world.A turning point in the company's evolution came when a new emphasis was injected into Baldinini footwear and the designs took on a fashion profile.The first shoes to bear the Baldinini name were timeless designs that required extensive manual input.The first important milestone was in 1974.This year is fixed in the company memory as theyear of the mule, a shoe that was a stunning success and is still remembered today because so many were made - 500 pairs a day, each one completely madeby hand.
